Decanted two hours, with consistent notes from day 2. Cork was a tad shorter than expected, and wine had penetrated one-third of the way. Colour is medium garnet with a watery rim. Aromas of black licorice, red fruits esp. cherries, leather. On the palate, it's juicy and oaky. Full bodied, high acid, XD, high tannin, medium alcohol (13.5). Long finish. You can drink this now with a steak, but if I had any more bottles, I would continue to HOLD.

Supermarket find - €19. Showing evolved colour as expected, and the usual Nebbiolo charm. In good spot for drinking, but there is burnt caramel undertone that put me off. 13.5%alc.

Al naso gradevoli profumi di frutti a bacca nera e terziari di media intensità. Al palato giusta struttura e corpo, abbastanza equilibrato. Ottimi, appaganti ed amalgamati sapori di frutti, legno, cuoio e tabacco. Caldo, secco ed abbastanza persistente. Ottimo barbaresco base.

On the 1st day, after 2hrs decanted, it's still very dry and tannin. After 2 days, it's so fantasy and full of aroma of rose, raspberry, red cherry ,mushroom and wetlands.

Al naso profumi intensi e molto piacevoli. Al palato poco equilibrio, ma profondità e struttura ci sono. Al naso ed al palato si sentono molto i profumi di legno, cuoio e tabacco, per me molto buoni, molto buona anche la persistenza. Appena aperto risulta un po' chiuso, dategli un paio di ore almeno prima di berlo. Il giorno dopo migliora veramente tanto, chiuso con tappo sottovuoto. Per me, molto piacevole.
